Terrorism is Satanism

Metropolitan Hilarion's (Alfeyev) address to the Russian Duma

Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeyev)

We must clearly realize that it is not a war of one religious confession against another. The very notion of ‘religious terrorism’ can only lead us astray. There is no religious terrorism whatsoever.

Subhumanity – The Philosophy of the Absurd

Hieromonk Seraphim (Rose)

"Convey to Them the Joy of the Resurrection"

A Conversation with a Mission Priest on His Experiences and Thoughts on Orthodoxy in America

Jesse Dominick, Fr. Timothy Hojnicki

"Without the message of salvation you will not be able to rejoice in the rest of it. Christ has come into the world to save us. When we have friends that are suffering or sad or mournful, we must convey to them the joy of the Resurrection—that’s what we’re called to do. If you can’t do that, then just shut the doors. Start with the basics."

The thing that impressed me most about Fr. George was his persistent cheerfulness. He would hold my hand and talk with me animatedly, as we stood in the nave of his church. He was full of joy, and I wondered how that was possible after such terrible suffering.

The Missionary Vision of the Martyred Fr. Daniel Sysoev

Edward Hunter

By all accounts, Fr. Daniel Sysoev was a powerful and effective missionary priest. As a direct result of his efforts, and in accordance with his express desire and sense of calling, he crowned his ministry with martyrdom, being murdered in the nave of his own church on the night of November 19, 2009.
